"Strings Attached follows Lethabo, a hardworking breadwinner who believes she has found her chance at love. She meets Xolani, a charming and mysterious businessman who seems to offer her everything she desires. However, his charm soon turns into control, pulling her into a dangerous cycle of manipulation. What begins as a fairytale quickly takes a dark and unsettling turn," writes McDonald.
